Well, I'm sitting here on the 8th anniversary of finding out that Trump would become our 45th president, and I cried.
Now, 8 years later, my whole being is crying out for some explanation of how this could happen AGAIN!!
And, yesterday, David Timpson, Alison Call Hubbard and I celebrated having met 55 years ago (Emerald), and that was deep and sensational and wonderous.
And today, I leave for Palm Springs to go celebrate Paul Frommer and John Brinkley's 55th anniversary (also Emerald).
This seems like about 3 very dizzying turning points. I don't have vertigo, but WOW!

WRITING
I don't know why I'm not doing my SLLAVERS Routine every day. Sometimes I feel like doing it, and I still don't. When I DO do it, I feel a lot better.
Also, when I tape & CPAP, I sleep better. I did both last night. I slept really well, and at least 7 hours. So today, I feel more rested, less achy than I sometimes do.
So, so, on we go.
8 years ago, Justin Rudd wrote:
YOU ARE GIVEN the opportunity each morning, day, and night to be a blessing to the people you come into contact with. Those people are placed in your life, and in your Facebook life, on purpose. You have been blessed beyond measure. Continue to be a blessing to others. Life is good, and getting better!
When I read this again, after 8 years, I am more convinced that it's true. Rather than bemoan our plight with Trump's win, we should focus on how we can be a blessing to others we meet.

I happened to turn on the local news, and a story of the loss a family JUST TODAY sustained was featured. They had moved into their home 2 weeks ago, and were getting settled, when the fires came (the "Mountain Fire") and destroyed their home in just minutes. Everything they had was gone. The father being interviewed cried, and lamented "how can I put a roof over my family's head without our home?"
It made me cry, and wonder if I could convince David (IF TODAY IS D-DAY) to help these people.
David texted, "This could be very exciting."
I hope so. We've waited 10 years.
But, as we've often reminded ourselves, "We already have everything we need." and "There is nothing wrong."
I feel like many ships and sailed without me, and many doors are now permanently closed for me.
Have they? Are they?
As is so often the case with my writing, I end up with more unanswered questions, than when I started.
*sigh*
I'm waiting for David to call me, as he said he would, after his video chat/call with John Perron (the Canadian), and Ian and Anthony (the Brits). The call is going on as I write this. (unless something has prevented it).
I'm shaking with anticipation.
Now it's Sunday, November 10.
I heard from David yesterday (November 9), and he's saying it's going to happen in the next few weeks!!
He had the video call with the above 3 men, and Susan. They'll be setting up an account in Nevada into which her deposit ($5MM ) will be deposited in the next several days; she adds that the remaining balance ($45MM) will follow within the next 3-4 weeks. WOW!
